Tie Elevator Man. Memory.

ut is not hard to memorize the situation Of
the different offices" said a man who runs an
elevator in the Field building. "Thc difficult
thing is to recollect when the different people
get down to work In the morning When a
person failI to find man in his office the
first thing he does is to ask me at what tins
be usually arrives. If make mistake or
can't answer at all am complained of to the
boss, so to hold my job must not only be a
walking directory but an oracle as WELL
This building is made up entirely Of small
offices, and many Of the tenants employ no
help. On this account 1 am obliged to know
exactly when each man is in the habit Of got
ting down in the morning. II man always
comes at the same time each day it would be
simple matter, but in calculating have to
make allowance for queer feature in human
nature which you have probably never heard
of before.
"The average man finds it harder to keep
good resolutions than to mako them When
he sits at home on Sunday and thinks over
the past week lie feels that he could have
done much better than he did do II lie had
got down to the office much earlier than he
did. Ho remembered that it was almost time
for luncheon when lie had finished discussing
his morning paper, so he resolves to turn
over new leaf for tho coming week. The
result is that he gets down here Oh Monday
morning before we have the steam up. The
next day he is half an hour late, and on
Wednesday he is M hour behind When it
is time to turn ont on Thursday morning lie
feels discouraged at being unable to live up
to his resolution, so he turns over and takes
another nap. BY Saturday hc has returned
to bis lazy habits. Thus it goes on yenr in

Managing nm italian Chorus.

theatrical manager never likes to have
grand opera at his house, for several reasons.
There is more risk in this kind of attraction
than any other, for the expenses are 50 much
greater that the slightest accident of rain or
bad night sale will cause considerable loss.
Then it Injuries business before and after the
engagement The advertisement of the
company cripples the business for two weeks
beforehand, and after the company has gone
the house does not recover for three or four
weeks. Yet manager makes very little
money during the grand opera season.
The greatest fault he finds, however, is the
nuisance occasioned by the number of people
in tho company, which renders it hard to
govern them on the stage. Tho Italians are
the worst. In fact, an italian chorus is an
abomnation, and no manager has an hours
peace OF mind during the stay of such a
crowd They are ungovernable, filthy in
their habits, and they haunt the stage. They
smoke cigarettes and throw them carelessIy
OH the floor, utterly regardless of the danger,
and when called to account pretend not to
understand. Furthermore, they get in their
dressing rooms and actually cook They
make all manner of excuses for getting into
the theatre during the day, and then cook
their meals over the gas. They do the same
between the acts at night, raising stencil
that Is fearful. They are the scum Of the
Italian cities, and hence have no care for
cleanliness and do not scruple to commit all
sorts Of nuisances. There is nothing in a
theatrical managers career so aggravating
as an Italian chorus. Manager in Globe.

Another popularity Of Il San Carlos al-
dicnce is the presence, on no few occasions,
of negroes in the first circles accompanied,
perhaps, by beautiful white wife, more far
by contrast with her swar,hy lord. These
negroes are generally masnntes of the slave
trade, which in the past was indebted to the
Portuguese rather than to Spanish subjects
for its vitality. They arc received on per-
feet footing Of equality, and their children
may be met with any day on the streets walk
ing hand in hand with their white school fell
lows. The common distinctions Of the negro
attest the frequency of tho niiscegcnatlon,
though perhaps not as common here as i'll

sulting mixture presents the hybrid charac-
terstcs of the people Of Mexico and Peru,

The (;cnius for Business.

One Of the hardest things to understand is
the value that is accorded to financial ability;
that is that intutiye acumen and foresight
which enables Il man TO determine what is
and what is not a desirable enterprise or i'll
vcstment, aild to arrange the means, Of Sccur-
ing profitable returns when the enterprise or
investment is entered upon. And yet, i'll II
great many cases, the possession of this gift
constitutes the difference between success
and failure. There are SOME men who arc
positive geniuses in this direction, and who,
as the saying is, if they We're to start Il pea
nut stand with capital Of 81, would, in five
years time, be relatively wealthy individuals.
a case illustrative of the value OF this men.
tai ability occurred not long ago in tins city.
One of the partners of Il firm possessed this
peculiar aptitude, and his judgment WAS inn
plcitly relied upon by those associated with
him To the outside observer he was, APP
parently, the fifth wheel of the coach, COM
irg down and going from his office Mt
pleasure, and, when there, loafing about with
his hands in bis pockets, while his partners
were Shaving it from early to late, drumming
up trade or working over bills and accounts
But when, by change i'll the business, this
apparently useless member left the concern,
those who remained found that they had
parted with the one who had given confidence
and profit to their operations. The respon-
sibility thrown upon the others of Judging Of
what to do and what not to do was found to
be onerous III the extreme, and, what is more,
the decisions arrived at were by no means as
satisfactory as they had been. Now, on the
ordinary estimates Of work it is difficult to
gauge the value Of services of this kind The
Judgment Of such n man may Lc invaluable,

Gladstone's Vitality and Versatility

NAhustouob SItalty anu SefSRtlllty.
Perhaps it is in private life that Mr.. Glad
stones vitality and versatility are most re-
markable. 1t Is great sight to watch him
at dinner with few friends. He never talks
for the sake OF talking, but listens attentively
to every one else, and is eager to draw out
from his company all they can tell him. But
they feel the influence Of q master mind i'll
the smallest details. fr. Gladstone asks q
dozen searching questions in few moments,
and presents the subject in an entirely new
light by some exposition that the listeners
never dreamt of. Heis full OF "reminiscences,
and seems to imagine that everybody's men,
ory ought to be as tenacious as his own.
One night when he was prime minister lie
sat on the treasury bench with only one col
league beside him. He was apparently asleep,
and the other man thought he might indulge
In doze. But presently Tory speaker
ventured upon some historical statement.
Mr.. Gladstone was on the alert mt once.
Turning to his companion, he said: That is
entirely wrong This fellow is mixing up his
facts and his dates Don't you remember !'
Then he proceeded to explain some obscure
passage Of political history of which his un-
fortunate colleague was obliged to confess en-
tire ignorance. Mr.. Gladstone looked at him
for moment In plying wonder and as soon
as he dared the hapless man skunk away,
Meeting friend, he said: I'm going home;
can't stand that fiendish old man any more,
, Why, he actually cross examined me about
something that happened before was born!'

How we'll remember Gen. Robert E. Lee,
then major, who was stationed lher, at that

a gentleman. When bidding us goodby and
godspeed upon the eve of our departure lie
said to me: Il understand that you contem.
plate deserting your post, which is by your
husbands side, and that you are not going to
California with him. If you will pardon me
l should like to give you little advice. You
must not think of doing this. AS one consid-
crably older than Hancock, and having had
greater experience, l consider it fatal to the
future happiness of young married people,
upon small provocation, to live apart, either
for short or long time. Tho result is in
variably that they cease to be essential to
each other Now promise me that you will
not permit him to sail without YOU

to follow that noble mans aimonition, and

casion to transmit to others his di,intclrs Il,

A Story of Tom ,Inore.

An old lady who used to he much in LON
don society relates n touching story of the
poet Moore. On one occasion, when the bril-
liant wit and writer was III his old age losing
his memory, the American was asked to sing
for Il small company of which he was one.
She complied with the request, and sang:
"Bclieve mo if all those endearing young
charms" Tho poet listened with evident
pleasure to his famous and charming piece,
and when the singer finished he said with
much earnestness:
"Will you please tell me who wrote that
beautiful song.'
"Why, Mr. N1oorc,' she answered, ''you
certainly can't expect me to believe that you
have forgotten Your own work" The old man
regarded her an instant with pathetic look,
the consciousness and infrnity of his broken
mind evidently forcing itself upon him. Then
he buried his face in his hands and burst into
tears. Tom Moore, the brilliant. fiery favor

what he wns in remembering what he had

Whore We Get EPSON salt..

Epson salt is the name given in pharmacy
to the hydrated sulphate of magnesia, which
was obtained over 200 years ogo by evaporat-
ing the waters of some mineral springs at
EPSON, England. Sea water was afterward
found to contain it, the brine remaining after
the separation Of the common salt consisting
OF the sulphate OF magnesia and the chlorides
Of magnesium and calcium. 1t was readily
obtained by collecting the first crystals which
formed and washing them with strong solu-
tion Of the same salt. An excellent quality
is manufactured at Baltimore and in this CITY
from the mineral magnesite, a slicious hy-
drate of magnesia, which is found in the SER
pentine of this region. Thesnineral, reduced
to powder, is dissolved in sulphuric acid.
The product, after drying, is calcined in
order to decompose the sulphate of iron. 1t
is then dissolved in water, and any iron pres
ent Is precipitated by sulphuret of lime. The
crystals of sulphate of magnesia are separated
and dissolved again to complete their purifi-
cation.-Philadelphi Times.
